my new medication

[bubblze30]

As you all know, I am on a new medication that is working and working well. So with this, I descided to listen to music. Something I have not done in three years. I mean I pulled out all the cd's and really listened to music. Well, what I didn't realize was the last time I listened to music was in a bar room. So, I popped in some music and got into it well wouldn't you know I got the urge to tip a few back. I kinda talked myself out of it knowing, it's just what my body remembered music went with alcohol. I did not drink and now I know I can listen to music and enjoy music with out alcohol. It's funny the way our body works the associations..

I also got tired in the early afternoon before the music and I feared my medication stopped working but instead of going to bed I took a shower and went for a walk with my daughter around the block. I wanted to walk more but it was chilly out. Never went to bed and got energy back.

Today my daughter goes to a Halloween party. She is punished two weeks but found her lost glasses so I am letting her go. So I will have the house to myself. I am thinking about dressing warm and going for another walk. The energy thing is great I love it. I am bound to start losing weight I just know it. With that said I hope everyone had a great weekend. Bye for now!!!! Off to play a few games then well who knows, anything is possible now.

As far as the body and mind working together, it is like the Pavlov's dog theory. We just associate certain things with using. I can't use matches to light a cigarette, the sulfer smell reminds me of smoking crack. So I keep plenty of lighters around.

I am glad to hear that you were able to do something productive instead of going back to bed. That is always a good thing.

Music can be a trigger for me, too. How about finding new music to listen to? Music that is different from what you listened to when you were drinking.

Well I think instead of letting the addiction win I will listen to my music and not drink and over time like everything else I will show myself I don't have to drink when listening to music. I had an issue with a type of cologne my ex wore and today I can smell it without using dope. Over time I would smell it without gettiong high and in time my body accepted the smell without an urge.

Thank you all today like othersd I am full of energy, I am feeling really good about my self and I am grateful for it all.
